What center console are you running? Any pics if it is a non-custom built unit.

to answer your question on this I think it is a smittybuilt unit I found on amazon for cheap. It I believe was either made for a jeep or is a universal one? I just measured and figured it would work out. Has worked nicely.

Just thought I would post up a pic of my smog report. Was very pleased with the results. Very low emmissions. The smog guy was surprised. I think this means that the valve work and engine work turned out well. Truck runs awesome. 90 degrees today and driving around, it stuck right at 194 most of the day, even under load. So I guess a supercharged truck does not have to overheat then? lol. I think the landtank fan and the aluminum radiator have helped. The hood vents, hood scoop and intercooler should also help out when ambient temps get into the 100 degree mark. Those mods to come later though.

installed an attic rack today,

10 bucks for the rack, it is beige so it matches the headliner, a couple bucks for some washers and 7 bucks for the brackets. I cut the brackets down a bit and bent them to fit. Used a few zip ties to attach to the speski barrier to avoid any rattles.

Looks great, man! What's your opinion of the Viair set up? Which pump did you install?

 

[1973Guppie]

The via air setup was nice from the standpoint that it comes w everything u need, not surgeon the pump size

a few updates, installed a subaru field monitor unit (does altitude, outside temp and compass), installed OEM snorkel, removed stock antenna and installed cheapo rubber whip in the rack, installed rear tailgate aluminum plate.

You build is looking great. Who manufactured your radiator? It looks real nice.

Thanks! I got the radiator off of ebay. It is AL. So far so good.

kinda bummed, been working on using herculiner to paint the sides of the car this and last weekend. For some reason it came out terrible. Lots of runs. I tried to fix it but no luck. I am just going to run it for another year or so and then repaint the whole truck in monstaliner beige. Oh well.

Nice truck. I've enjoyed reading your posts over the years.

 

[1973Guppie]

thx, need to update this thread here soon, done a few more things on the truck....

 

[thetoyotaman]

I'd like to know more about your intercooler and where you picked up the snorkle.

 

[1973Guppie]

no intercooler on my truck, I had one but sold it, oem snorkel I got from a guy here on mud, can't remember his name, search the classifieds, I think it is in there
